Developing
Your Ultimate Flag Football Playbook
You
and your teammates will be developing your own Flag Football Playbook.
The playbook will be used to run practice and when competing in games.
Here is a checklist
of the components of a complete playbook:
- All
pages placed in a hardcover 3-ring binder
- Cover
sheet that includes team name (team name will be appropriate!)
- Roster
- Passing
Tree
- One
play from EACH member of the team
- All
plays precise and consistent with the passing tree
|
Be
creative and HAVE FUN!!

Tips
- Make
sure everyone on your roster is labeled with a number, symbol,
or initials. This will ensure proper positioning of team members
when running plays and for evaluation purposes.
- Be
sure that all passing routes are consistent with the passing
tree.
- Try
to develop plays that are run to open areas (Do not have all
receivers run routes to the same spot. Clear an area by having
receivers take their defenders out of the area you want the
play to go).
- Play
should allow for everyone on the team to play a role. Use more
than one quarterback. Run plays designed to let everyone be
the primary receiver.
- You
may run plays that involve handoffs.
|
Here
is what you and your group will need to do:
- Come
up with an appropriate team name
- Complete
a team roster with each person on the team having a designated
number, symbol, or initials that will be used to identify each
player in the plays you design
- Include
the passing tree in your book (every play must be consistent
with the passing tree)
- Each
player is responsible for designing their own play
- Do
not use PAINT to design your plays, as they will not print correctly.
Students have been very successful using WORD
- Place
completed Playbook in a hard cover 3-ring binder
- You
will have three days on the computer in class to work on the
Playbook (use your time at home or study hall to complete YOUR
play. This will save time in class for the creation of your
Coversheet, Roster, and Passing Tree)
- Day
4 will be a practice day. Run the plays from your book. Take
this time seriously as you will be evaluated on how your plays
are run on day 5 and 6, which will be a tournament
- Upon
completion of the unit, you will write an essay
on what you have learned in class (details on assessment may
be found in the Assessment Link, or click here)

Passing Tree
|
KEY: |
|
|
| 0
– Fly
1 – Post
2 – Flag
3 – Dig
4 – Curl
5 – Slant
6 – Out
|
As you design your plays, you will run all pass patterns according to
the passing tree 0-6.
| 0
– Fly |
Receiver
“goes long.” Designed to throw a long pass down the
field. |
| 1
– Post |
Receiver
runs approximately 15 yards and then cuts towards the goal post
(middle of the field). |
| 2
– Flag |
Receiver
runs approximately 15 yards and cuts towards the flag in the corner
of the end zone (corner of field). |
| 3
– Dig |
Receiver
runs approximately 10 yards and cuts up the field as if running
a flag, then cuts towards the sideline. |
| 4
– Curl |
Receiver
runs hard for approximately 10 yards, then stops and returns back
towards the quarterback to receive the pass. |
| 5
– Slant |
Receiver
runs approximately 5 yards and then cuts at an angle towards the
middle of the field. |
| 6
– Out |
Receiver
runs approximately 5 yards and then cuts straight out towards the
sideline. |
All plays are
designed to get free from the coverage of the defender. By knowing what
routes the receiver is running, the quarterback will be able to anticipate
when and where to throw the ball.
